成願寺

Jōgyōji Temple stands on a hillside in Shiga Prefecture, incorporating traditional Japanese architectural elements with multiple prayer halls and meditation spaces.

The temple maintains records dating back to the early Edo period, when local feudal lords provided financial support for its maintenance and expansion.

The temple serves as a center for Buddhist ceremonies and religious education, where monks conduct daily rituals and teach meditation techniques.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a local bus from Higashiōmi Station to the temple entrance, with services running every hour during daytime.

The temple gardens contain a collection of stone lanterns from different historical periods, each carved with inscriptions marking significant events.
